We'll be joined by contemporary violinist Miranda Cuckson for concerts at Music Mountain and (le) poisson rouge to perform the music of living composers. Described as "one of the most sensitive and electric interpreters of new music" (Downbeat magazine), Miranda has collaborated with an array of renowned composers including Dutilleux, Carter, Ades, Sciarrino, Adams, Boulez, Hyla, Mackey, Crumb, Iyer, Saariaho, Davidovsky, Ran, Hurel, Bermel, Wyner, Murail, Wuorinen, and Currier. We can't wait to make music with her.

Our 2019 season will run from May 26-June 8. Applications will go online after January 1, with a March application deadline. Look for more news about the season to come!
